Smita Shrivastava
Founder & CEOSmita is a software industry veteran and an entrepreneur with two decades of experience in various technical and business roles at Silicon Valley technology companies. She is passionate about computer science education and founded Whizara to enable opportunities for young students to learn coding and computational thinking, and use it as a tool to create their own amazing applications. She holds a Bachelors in Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Masters in Computer Science from the University of California Santa Cruz, and MBA from INSEAD, France.
Wesley W
Whizara InstructorWesley is studying Computer Science and Engineering at University of California San Diego. "I teach Python, HTML/CSS, Javascript, Java, C++. I believe that computer science hides simple and easy to understand ideas behind foreign and confusing looking code, which makes it scary to learn. I enjoy breaking down code into the simplicity behind them and watching students realize that all the scary looking code on the screen makes perfect sense."
Richard C
Whizara InstructorRichard is studying Computer Science at Stanford University. "Teaching is awesome in that I learn as much as I teach, and oftentimes our different ways of thinking build off of each other. It's rewarding to see students make their way around difficult problems and their excitement as they come up with a solution. A wow moment once happened and I was blown away when a student essentially came up with their own logical way to think about the interior angle formula, solving a problem in a way I hadn't seen before."

Brandy N
Whizara InstructorBrandy is studying Computer Science at UC Berkeley. "With practice, anyone can be good at programming, no matter their age or experience, and use it to make some pretty amazing things. I teach Python and Scratch. What I love the most about teaching are those “Eureka!” moments when students finally understand a concept and where the fun and beauty of code reveals itself best, and students are able to apply their own creativity to these concepts. I encourage anybody who is even the slightest bit interested in coding to give it a shot - like me, you might discover something you didn’t expect to find!
What parents, teachers and school administrators are saying
Fantastic. My son thoroughly enjoyed every lesson, and learned so much! Absolutely recommend. Very flexible, personal, and efficient. They will make it work for you.
Learn2Code.Live program further developed our students' creativity. Using the program not only taught them coding but also critical thinking and reasoning skills that go beyond coding and support students in all subjects.
Kid Enjoys His Class - Can't Ask for More. My kid is enjoying his coding class, specialized into areas that he likes, making it challenging and a continued joy for him. Honestly can't ask for more when he is wanting to continue with the class.
